Preparing for Hybrid Configuration Wizzard with Microsoft 365 and In-house Exchange 2010
AADConnect is already setup on a 2008 server in my environment for Sharepoint and Teams - it works fine and I've recently upgraded it to the latest version 1.5.45.0. You guys are making me nervous that this only runs on 2012 because I'm running this on 2008?
That said - - So I'm thinking that when I run the HCW it will see this and only create the Exchange Hybrid configuration part. DoscoeDerek
andyo64 haha, guess what, I just started migrating a company to 365 from Exch10 on prem and they also have AADC running on 2008. So, perhaps it installs and works, but MS might not want us to do it for some good reason or they may not give support with that configuration. IDK. Always something to learn!
About HCW, you have it exactly right! At some point in the HCW it will ask about AADC and you can select the option "I'll configure this on my own or later or something like that". When HCW is done, you should be ready to start moving mailboxes!
Lucky me - you'll have to tell me how the HCW goes. Are you planning on upgrading the AADConnect to 2012 or better? Being that the functional level only needs to be 2003, I think 2008 should be fine.DoscoeDerek
andyo64 HCW ran fine. AADC seems to be working fine. We've moved almost all of the mailboxes to 365 no issue.
- there will be no issues in using 2008 sever for aad connect. but Microsoft ask you to use new 2012 server. Also if you choose the minimal hybrid then you get page asking for aad connect option. but if you are using classic hybrid or modern you wont get that page..
Do you know when installing HCW - classic or modern hybrid does it install automatically or does it look and see's if there AADConnect and then bypasses it?Aakash-Sharma
